Description

For musicians from pros to beginners, whether you sing, play a brass, woodwind or stringed instrument or any type of guitar, this app provides a set of feature-rich practice tools that gives fun and rewarding feedback. It’s much more than just a tuner!
So what makes the TonalEnergy the best selling music practice app?
• It's an all-in-one app, with a state-of-the-art tuner, an advanced metronome, dedicated orchestral strings and guitar tuning page, a piano keyboard, sound analysis pages, and audio/visual recording capabilities.
• It’s easy to use. Options like the Target Tuner or Pitch Tracker are on all the main pages. TonalEnergy helps users create rewarding and attainable goals during a rehearsal or when working alone. Colorful analysis data pages and audio/video recording features enhance the experience of practice.
• The metronome is cutting edge. It offers unmatched flexibility in sound choices, tempo settings, meters, subdivision patterns and visual displays. Voice count-ins, the ability to create and edit preset groups and Ableton link for syncing multiple devices make this a superior tool for performers.
• Ear training possibilities are endless. The high quality multi-sampled instrument sounds for symphonic instruments are unique among all other tuning applications. Listening skills can be developed through the use of the eight-octave keyboard, chromatic wheel and tone generator. There are no other sounds like these.
• Learning is a social activity. Using features unique to the TonalEnergy Tuner, data can be collected, reviewed, edited and shared with others. Feedback is essential for growing and developing great performers. It’s all about connectivity.
Chris Coletti, member of The Canadian Brass, sums up TonalEnergy by saying,
“TonalEnergy is a must-have for any serious musician. It's a full suite of tools in one app; the tuner, tone generator, recorder, metronome and beautiful interface make it one of the best tools for musicians out there, period.”

Great but...

Love this app, and great for an on the go tuner (in a quiet room), but I wish the metronome pulsed since Apple watches already have that capability.

Very great app and it is very helpful when it comes with tuning and has great features. A great purchase if you are looking for a good tuning app.

Good app but don’t like the sound choices

I have just started using this app and it seems to have the main functions I was looking to consolidate from multiple other apps I use - mainly a metronome and a piano keyboard to give me notes to work through vocal practices / figure out harmonies. Also was looking for an app to buy, rather than a free app, because the ads in the free apps get annoying (and seem to be getting worse, e.g. making you watch 5 seconds of a commercial before it allows you to close it). And this one has a tuner to boot. I do have 2 suggestions: 1) Call me crazy, but if I’m just giving myself a note to sing from, I’d love it if the piano keyboard display had the option to sound like a piano. You can make it sound like a whole bunch of different instruments, many with kind of cheesy tones, but piano is not one of them. 2) Would like a mute button on the metronome, such that when in the metronome page, you can see the box (or the screen) flashing the time but without the click. I can accomplish this by turning down the volume on the side of my phone, but it takes a lot of pushes to do that so it can’t be done quickly. Otherwise I do like this app.

Glitch

1

I would give it a 5/5 rating BUT for some reason there has been a glitch on both apps I have on my iPhone and iPad. It won’t sustain the not C or C# which I need in order to practice my scales. It first glitched on my iPad but now it’s no longer working on my iPhone. Please fix this glitch because I use this app almost everyday for practice and I would hate to download another app for tuning. This app is very well rounded and I enjoy it a whole lot more than those free apps.

Awesome App

Worth the price. So helpful with both metronome and tuner. The sound board is just the cherry on top

Scales/Cords

I think that the app should have a scale setting where the app plays a scale for you to repeat and also play cords for you as well. Other than that, I love this app.

I live for this app. It’s a perfect match for my middle school, high school and college students alike. No matter how serious a musician you are, seeing a smile doesn’t ever warrant a negative response! If you have more time than just using the metronome and tuner I highly suggest exploring the app wholly. Now if you all can only attach Siri in the mix so I can say “Hey Siri set a metronome to quarter=120” 👍🏽👍🏽
